CMA - User Content

Naming and Deleting User Content Files and Folders
You can Rename any user content folder or file displayed in the right pane of the CMA window using the pull
down Media Folders, Objects, or 3D Warp menu or with a right click selection. Use the standard Windows
operating system naming conventions.
You can Delete any user content folder or file displayed in the right pane of the CMA window using the pull down
Media Folders, Objects, or 3D Warp menu or with a right click selection.
NOTE:You cannot Delete a movie if the media server is playing it.
Assigning DMX Values to User Content
The DMX Value associated with each file and folder makes it easy to use the DMX control protocol to identify a
unique media file or object.
There are up to 240 Media file folders with each capable of containing up to 255 image or movie media files. This
gives a theoretical total of 61,200 possible locations for Media image or movie files. There is one DMX parameter
used to identify a object so 255 DMX values are available between the Stock and User Content to identify
objects.
Assigning DMX Values Automatically
The CMA can automatically assign a unique DMX value to any file or folder that does not already have a value.
This automated assignment is based on alphabetically sorting the existing file/folder names, and assigning each
item a unique consecutive integer.
To automatically assign DMX values to a single file or folder with user content:
•
Display the User content folder or file in the right pane of the CMA Window
•
Select AutoSet DMX from either the Media Files folder or Objects drop down menu or the right click
popup list. The CMA will assign a valid DMX value to the file or the folder.
You can automatically assign DMX values to all folders at once or to all the files within a folder at once. You
cannot set both files and folder values at the same time. To automatically assign DMX values to all the User
content folders or all files within a User content folder:
•
Display the User content folders or the files for a single folder in the right pane of the Content
Management window and deselect all files or folders.
•
Select Autoset All DMX from either the Media Folders or Objects drop down menu or the right click
popup list. The CMA will assign a valid DMX value to all selected files or folders.
Using the same steps, you can also Reset DMX for a single file or folder or Reset All DMX for all display files or
folders displayed in the right pane to zero.
Editing User Content DMX Values
You can manually assign any valid DMX value to your files or folders by selecting the file or folder in the right pane and
then, using the pull down menu or the right click popup, selecting Edit DMX. A dialog box will allow you to input the DMX
value. If it is a valid value from 0-255, the CMA will change the DMX value displayed for the file or folder
Valid DMX Values
Certain DMX values are Reserved for special purposes and are not user assignable. You can change the assigned DMX
value for a User Content item to another valid DMX value. A valid DMX value is:
•
From 0-255
•
Is not one of the reserved values for that type of content
•
Is unique from other content of its type except for zero
The following table shows valid and reserved values for User Content.
